First impressions matter

I realize how difficult it is to separate comfort from home, but just like any other interview, you want to leave an everlasting impression on the interviewer. An online interview does not imply that you should switch on your webcam in your slouchy tees and boxers. Get dressed! Just like if you had to go to a company for an interview. Take a bath, groom yourself, and dress to impress the interview panel. Such efforts are noticed by recruiters. And such attempts reveal a lot about your personality and character to them.

Putting your camera together

My friend is a skilled cinematographer and aspiring director, and he claims it’s all about the frame. The frame contains all that your camera can see and show to your interviewer. The world of movies appears so nice because they pay special attention to what they want to show you and what they don’t! So consider yourself a director. Set up your webcam and your frame. Check it out when you’re seated in your chair. Examine the background to ensure that no worthless items are lying in the back. The backdrop should be neat and tidy.

Lights! Lights! Lights!

Lighting is critical since you don’t want to appear drab on screen or, worse, not be visible at all. Everything comes down to the lights. Illuminating your face is the greatest approach to setting up your lighting. Focus a soft light behind your camera on your face. This can be a bulb or an LED, but it should not be too bright or warm because you will be sitting in front of it for a long time. The light will highlight your face and allow interviewers to see you well.

Remove all distractions.

The most important of all is that there are no distractions. It’s showtime once the interviewers appear on your screen! So make sure you’ve petted your cat or dog and informed your family members! Set your phone on quiet and make sure there are no other noises coming from nearby rooms. It should be rather quiet, much like an interview room. Also, make sure that no other tabs or apps are active on your laptop or tablet for the online interview.
